Fees that catch people out
California's double-drive-time rule bills the truck's transit at twice the actual driving time, so ask how travel is charged. Nearly every company enforces a 3-hour minimum plus a one-time truck and fuel surcharge of $50 - $150, even when the job finishes early. Third-floor walk-ups, long hallways and heavy pieces like pianos or safes each add surcharges, which matters in Claremont's older properties and campus-area apartments.
Protection and tipping
Basic liability pays just $0.60 per pound per article, so a broken $1,000 television weighing 20 pounds returns $12; ask about full value protection for high-value furniture and electronics. For tips, budget around $20 - $40 per mover for a half day or $40 - $60 for a long full day.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Los Angeles County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 6% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
